Superfine inkjet technology was
developed by the
Nanotechnology Research Institute of the National Institute of Advanced
Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). The technology allows the
ejection of super-fine liquid droplets smaller than the conventional
droplets ejected by a home-use conventional inkjet printer. They are
roughly 1/10 smaller in size and 1/1,000 smaller in volume. This
technology can be applied to a single-micron level microfabrication or
femto-liter level on-demand inkjet application.
